There are several kinds of French; there is Parisian French from Paris, Quebec French from Quebec Canada, and French in the New Orleans area. None of these dialects need to roll the r. However, at least in Parisian French, you do have to do a "special" r, made by having the tip of the tongue on the bottom of the mouth, and arced so the middle is close to the top. It's sort of a "phlegm-y" sound, not sounding like a rolled or normal English r. It is known as "guttural R", and is used in French, Portuguese, and Dutch. Spanish and Italian (but also Indonesian) feature the so-called trilled R.

No, you do not have to be able to roll your "r" to speak French fluently. Pronunciation can vary among speakers, so as long as you can make yourself understood, you can still speak French effectively.

Can you please explain the southern southeastern and southwestern accents of France and how they speak words differently than Parisien?

Southerners tend to roll their Rs and to sound final Es. On top of this, many speak regional languages (Provencal, Corsican, Catalan or Basque), though in some places the dialect is a mixture of French and a regional language, hence the term Francitan to describe a mixture of French and Occitan (Provencal). To check whether a dialect is southern or not, find out the word for "to go". In standard French it's "aller" and in southern French "anar"..

When the price of rice is decreased by 20 percent lalita is able to buy 5kg more in rs 320. what is the actual price of rice in the beginning?

Suppose the original price was Rs x per kilo. At that price Lalita would have been able to buy 320/x kilos of rice for Rs 320. The new price is 20% less , that is Rs 0.8x per kilo. Now she is able to buy 320/0.8x = 400/x kilos. So 400/x - 320/x = 5 kilos Multiply by x: 400 - 320 = 5x ie 5x = 80 so that x = 16. The price was Rs 16 per kilo.
